Circulating microRNA-137 is a potential biomarker for human glioblastoma.
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated whether circulating microRNA-137 (miR-137) could be a potential biomarker for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples were collected from 64 GBM patients and 64 healthy controls. The expression level of circulating miR-137 was compared by quantitative RT-PCR. Among GBM patients, circulating miR-137 was compared between pati...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA-196a is an early gastric cancer biomarker
MicroRNA-196a (miRNA-196a) is associated with the development of gastric cancer and metastasis. Intestinal metaplasia and low- or high-grade dysplasia are considered to be precursors of intestinal type gastric cancer. Accordingly, we investigated the expression of plasma miRNA-196a as an early detection biomarker in precancerous gastric lesions and early cancer (pT1a/b), which is otherwise trea...
متن کاملEvaluation of Extracellular Circulating Human MicroRNA-197 as a Target Biomarker in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) refers to the reduction or blockage of all or part of the coronary arteries due to the process of atherosclerosis or the presence of a clot. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of serum miR-197 as a diagnostic index in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods: In this study, 100 patients with CAD were selected. Extraction of...
متن کاملThe Role of Appendix in the Management of Biliary Atresia Associated with Bowel Atresia
Biliary atresia is characterized by the progressive obliteration of extra- and intrahepatic biliary duct system leading to the obstruction of bile flow in infancy. The cause(s) of biliary atresia remain unclear and many surgical options for bypassing the atretic segment have been described.1-3 Biliary atresia may be associated with small bowel atresia. The surgical interventions for biliary dr...
متن کاملBiliary atresia
Biliary atresia (BA) is a cholangiodestructive disease affecting biliary tract, which ultimately leads to cirrhosis, liver failure and death if not treated. The incidence is higher in Asian countries than in Europe. Up to 10% of cases have other congenital anomalies, such as polysplenia, asplenia, situs inversus, absence of inferior vena cava and pre-duodenal portal vein, for which we have coin...
